I've not seen Buccees create development near them. It's a one stop kind of place and their business plan puts them just outside cities or towns where it will be an easy on and off the interstate. I'm trying, but I can't think of lots of developments that jumped up around a Buccees.

Terrel. There was nothing there before buccees.

ETA: looks like temple spurred some restaurant development as well

Elizabethwon, Denton, and Baytown have all seen additional developments popup once Buc-ees opened as well. Not to the extent of what happened in Terrel, but I'd say the majority of the ones I've been to all have had additional commercial spaces open up to grab some of the extra traffic now utilizing that exit. Spots that may have been looking to open along I-20, or franchise owners in adjacent areas with older spaces will look to the area. Though I did pass through Ruston during the holidays and that may be limited with the new spaces already coming up down the I-20 corridor there from Exit 84 down to the Farmerville Hwy exit. Anyone that may have been looking for expansion along that section of I-20 now has an exit they know will experience high traffic.
